09-06-14 | USC v. Stanford -3 | Top | 13-10 | Loss | -115 | 128 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Stanford. I had a big play on USC last week and it would pull away down the stretch for a convincing 52-13 win over Fresno State. Suffice it to say, I think the Trojan’s will have their hands full today though with this deep and well rested Stanford team and look for the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. This is a big game, the winner takes and early edge in the Pac-12 standings and the inaugural College Football Playoff race. “Revenge” definitely comes into play here as well, USC held off the Cardinal 20-17 at home last season as a 3.5 point underdog. Sure the Trojans looked good at home vs. Fresno State, but hitting the road for a divisional contest next time out is a tall task I believe, especially considering that Stanford is 13-1 SU at home vs. ranked opponents over the last five years. This is also a great situational play because Stanford was able to rest almost all of its starters in the second half of its 45-0 destruction of UC Davis. Cardinal QB Kevin Hogan will certainly be motivated and focused today, he had the worst game of his career in the loss to USC last year, he threw two critical INTs in the fourth quarter and was just 14 of 25 for 127 yards overall. No doubt Hogan was loving the performance of Ty Montgomery last week, who returned his first career punt for a TD while also catching five passes for 77 and another score. Both teams looked pretty good defensively vs. the weaker competition, we’ll call this area a “wash.” So while this contest is obviously crucial for both sides, I simply feel it means more to Stanford: as mentioned off the top, there is the revenge factor which must be taken into consideration, but also note that with road games at Oregon, UCLA and Arizona State coming up, this early divisional home contest almost becomes a “must win” scenario for the Cardinal. In my opinion, all signs point to STANFORD as the sharp wager in this contest. AAA Sports |

09-01-14 | Miami (Fla) +2.5 v. Louisville | Top | 13-31 | Loss | -105 | 1181 h 30 m | Show |
This is a 10* “ASSASSIN” on Miami. Here’s a great opportunity for Miami to avenge last season’s 36-9 setback in the 2013 Russell Athletic Bowl. Miami gets its shot in the opening game of the season against a Louisville team making its debut in the ACC. Note that star QB Teddy Bridgewater, coach Charlie Strong and playmaker Marcus Smith are all gone for the Cardinals. While the Cardinals still possess a strong defensive unit, they’re going to be asked to do too much today vs. a revenge minded Hurricanes team which has some scary good offensive weapons in Stacy Coley and Duke Johnson, who I believe will be difference makers in the outcome of this contest. As primarily a situational handicapper, these are the types of gems I always keep my eyes open for and while the outright win is obviously not out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can; play on MIAMI.

08-30-14 | Clemson v. Georgia -9 | Top | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 1131 h 4 m | Show |
This is a 10* “BLOCKBUSTER” on Georgia. As a situational handicapper, “revenge” is a big factor I take into account when studying College Football opportunties and there’s no question that this selection falls into that category. When you throw in the fact that Clemson is without perhaps the best offensive player in the league from 2013, I think that the writing is on the wall and look for Georgia to avenge last season’s thriller. The Tigers lost Tajh Boyd to the NFL, meaning Cole Stoudt will be making his first career start in this game. Stoudt has experience with the offense, but this is an entirely different situation with all of the expectations now heaped on his shoulders and he’s going to have a hell of a time playing in such a hostile environment. Clemson was unable to slow down RB Todd Gurley last year, who ran for 154 yards against it. With so much pressure on the defensive unit to carry the load, I’m predicting a classic letdown here. Georgia lost by a heart-breaking three-point margin last season, 38-35, but will benefit greatly here in playing in friendly confines. While Georgia will also be starting a new QB, overall the unit has had much less turnover and I don’t expect much of a drop off. Note that beyond Boyd, the Tigers will also be looking to replace playmakers Sammy Watkins, who was their second-best receiver, Martavius Bryand and leading rusher Roderick McDowell. The Bulldgos also return almost their entire defensive unit. I’m expecting GEORGIA to pull away down the stretch; lay the points. AAA Sports |

08-28-14 | Tulane +4 v. Tulsa | Top | 31-38 | Loss | -110 | 1086 h 37 m | Show |
This is a 10* EARLY AAC LINE-MOVER SPECIAL on Tulane. I am a situational handicapper at heart. When it comes to ATS sports and O/U’s, I mainly look at past statistics and numbers to base my selections, rarley do individual player match-ups play a role in my process (unless of course it involves a star player like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady etc). Tulsa has not gotten much better over the offseason, while Tulane comes into the 2014/15 campaign filled with confidence after its best effort in the last decade. The Green Wave had lost eight straight to the Golden Hurricane, both SU and ATS until they finally came out on top with the 14-7 victory as 3-point underdogs last year. It’s been a long hard road for Tulane, from 2003 to 2012 it won just a total of 33 games, an average of justt 3.3 wins per season during the 10-year span. Things changed when Curtis Johnson took over head coaching duties. Johnson had been the New Orleans Saints WR coach for six years before taking over in 2012. The Green Wave won just two games that season before Johnson would then lead them to a Bowl game for the first time in a decade last year. It’s true that Tulane clinched a bowl bid early and went just 1-4 down the stretch, but note that three of those came by a total of just 10 points. But with winning comes confidence, and also money; the Green Wave have an entirely new stadium ready to go this year. It will be a difficult switch from the Conference USA to the American Athletic Conference, but Tulane catches a break in facing a familiar face in Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane also come over from Conference USA. Tulsa dominated the conference for the better part of a decade before finally coming back down to Earth in 2013/14, finishing just 3-9. The biggest difference was clearly on offense, finishing No. 102 in the nation with just 21.1 points per game, six of its nine losses by 17 or more points. Tulsa is now in full rebuilding mode, it has a ton of new faces on both sides of the ball, several freshmen and sophomores will be playing a lot of minutes. Tulane is focused and has an identity, it played tough defense last year and while it will surely have its hands full in moving to the new conference, this first game sets up beautifully for it. While the outright win isn’t out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. AAA Sports |

02-02-14 | Seattle Seahawks +3 v. Denver Broncos | Top | 43-8 | Win | 100 | 109 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SUPER BOWL SUPER-BLOWOUT" on the Seattle Seahawks.
It has been two weeks of non-stop media build up like always for the Super Bowl but in the end it is still the two best teams from each conference (record wise) going at it in New York. The fact that this game is a neutral site game in an outside venue in the middle of winter helps the Seahawks in my eyes and is one of the main factors in taking Seattle here. It's true that Denver comes in with one of the greatest offenses in the history of the NFL, but the Seahawks come in with the top rated defense this season and a secondary built to make life difficult for even the likes of Peyton Manning. Manning can shrug off all the legacy talks he wants in the media but the fact of the matter is, all the pressure is on him and it won |

This is a 10* play on the Seattle Seahawks.
The San Francisco 49ers come into the NFC championship game thanks to two playoff road wins over Green Bay and Carolina. The 49ers to their credit have won eight in a row with QB Colin Kaepernick playing some of his best football of the season. Anquan Boldin had 136 yards receiving as he and Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis are elite receiving options on a team that has the talented Kaepernick and Frank Gore out of the back field. The Seattle Seahawks come in the number one seed in the NFC and held off a late rally from the New Orleans Saints last week to win 23-15. Marshawn Lynch was once again a beast, rushing for 140 yards and two TDs. These teams know each other very well and there is hatred from fans all the way to the players and even coaches. Let |

This is a 10* play on the New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots come in the second seed in the AFC and a playoff win at home over the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots ran the ball with authority against the Colts in a 43-22 blowout. Legarrett Blount had 166 yards and four TD runs in the win. Tom Brady did not have to throw a touchdown pass surprisingly enough. The Denver Broncos come in the number one seed in the AFC and off a 24-17 win over San Diego in the Divisional round. Peyton Manning threw for 230 yards and two TDs in the win. Its |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Denver Broncos.
The San Diego Chargers come in off an impressive 27-10 win at the Cincinnati Bengals on Wild Card weekend. The Chargers defense forced four turnovers and Philip Rivers was solid, going 12 of 16 for 128 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions during the rainy and windy day. The Denver Broncos come in off a bye week well rested for this game at home. The Broncos come in the overall number one seed in the AFC and off a record setting season. The Broncos only loss at home this season came to the Chargers and this smells like major revenge. Remember the loss to the Chargers was on a short work week where a lot of unexpected things can happen. After the loss to the Chargers, the Broncos have won two straight by an average of 22 points. Peyton Manning and the ever impressive Denver offense have had a lot of time to prepare for a playoff game and I expect an impressive performance. The Chargers having to play two road games in a row is not going to help things. While it might not be a 20 point blowout, look for a comfortable double digit win. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New England Patriots.
The Indianapolis Colts comes in the Divisional Round playoffs off of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. The Colts were behind 38-10 at one point, but stormed back to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 45-44. T.Y Hilton was the star for the Colts, catching 13 passes for 224 yards and two TD scores. Andrew Luck was very human at times but still threw four touchdown passes in the win. It was the second biggest comeback in NFL history. The New England Patriots meanwhile watched the Colts win from home as the team is the second seed in the NFL playoffs and will be have home field for this game. The Patriots are a perfect 8-0 at Foxborough this season and covered the spread in six of those games. The Patriots have been one of the most banged up teams in the NFL this season and a week off is exactly what the team needs at this point. Bill Belchick will have his guys ready for this game as it will be the last home game this season the team plays. The Patriots have had the Colts number since Andrew Luck has entered the league, going 2-0 against them. The last time Luck visited Gillette, Brady went 24 of 35 for 331 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while Luck was 27 of 50 for 334 yards, two scores and three INTs. The Patriots do a good job of shutting down the other team |

01-06-14 | Auburn v. Florida State -8.5 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 707 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR" on Florida State.
Well you likely heard, read or seen all the build up to this National Championship game. The underdog Auburn team is coming off three heart stopping wins over Georgia, Alabama and Missouri to get to this point. Florida State has been rolling all opponents this season, winning by an average of more than 27 points. The Seminoles bring in arguably the biggest game changer in college football this year win Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and I think him, along with an underappreciated defense will make this an easy win for the favorites here. At some point the luck will run out for a Auburn that is playing little defense on its way the National Championship game. The Tigers ranked a disappointing 88th nationally in total defense (423.5 ypg allowed), while yielding 260.2 yards per game passing (104th nationally). They aren |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New Orleans Saints.
The New Orleans Saints come into the Playoffs off an 11-5 SU and 8-8 ATS season. The Saints played the last game of the regular season at home; a 42-17 beat down of Tampa Bay. Drew Brees threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns in the win. The host Philadelphia Eagles come in with a 10-6 SU and 8-8 ATS record. The Eagles come off a 24-22 win at Dallas on Sunday night to end the regular season. The Eagles were the 7 point favorites but had to get a game ending pick on Cowboys backup QB Kyle Orton. The Eagles come in the favorite thanks to a few blown games on the road by the Saints. Still, we have to remember that the Eagles have first year coach and QB combination in Chip Kelly and Nick Foles. The Saints have a veteran combo who has won the Super Bowl in Sean Peyton and Drew Brees. This is a strong advantage for New Orleans. A lot people are blasting the Saints for not winning games on the road this season. I think the team is due for a win here. Grab the points with good value in the Saints with a chance for the outright win. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Indianapolis Colts.
Kansas City really turned things around this season, finishing the regular season at 11-5 SU and 9-7 ATS. The Chiefs decided to rest a lot of their star players in the final game of the regular season, a 24-27 OT loss to the San Diego Chargers. Ironically Kansas City only failed to win the game because kicker Ryan Succop missed a 40 yard field goal. The Indianapolis Colts finished strong, winning the AFC South with an 11-5 SU and 9-6 ATS record after a 30-10 demolition of Jacksonville at home. T.Y. Hilton had 155 yards on 11 receptions. The Colts hammered the Chiefs in Kansas City just a few weeks ago and I expect another nice win here at home for the blue and white. It has been a tale of two seasons really for the Kansas City where they started the year off on a massive roll but stumbled down the stretch because of playing a tougher schedule more than anything. The Chiefs have lost five of last seven contests and was just 1-3 ATS versus teams with a winning record. Note that Kansas City allowed 12.3 points per game in its first nine and 27.7 in the last seven. The Colts meanwhile finished the season winning four of five and some of the blowout variety. Indianapolis has dropped three straight in the postseason after last season's 24-9 wild-card loss to eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore. This team is young but I think it bounces back with a win here. Lay the short points. AAA |

Oklahoma comes into the Sugar Bowl at 10-2 SU and 7-5 ATS out of the Big 12. The Sooners played spoilers well in beating rival Oklahoma State 33-24. Sterling Shepard had seven receptions fo 112 yards and back up QB Blake Bell filled in lead the Sooners to win nicely. Alabama comes in 11-1 SU and 7-5 ATS out of the SEC.

This is a 10* "BLOWOUT" on Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Badgers come into the Capital One Bowl at 9-3 SU and 9-2 ATS out of the Big Ten. The Badgers were edged out 24-31 by Penn State the last time they saw action. The Badgers only have themselves to blame. They were uncharacteristically prone to mental errors and mistakes, turning over the ball three times. South Carolina out of the SEC comes in at 10-2 SU and 6-6 ATS after a 31-17 win over Clemson. Conner Shaw threw for 152 yards and a TD and also ran for 92 yards and major in the win. Wisconsin's offense this season has been a potent one, boasting 35.8 points per game thanks largely to the nation's eighth-ranked rushing attack (283.0 ypg). Facing a number of SEC teams with high-powered rushing attacks, South Carolina allowed only 142.2 yards per game on the ground and clearly has the capacity to bottle up Gordon and White, which will give it a strong chance at the victory. However, Wisconsin's defense will be the difference-maker in this one against a Gamecocks' offense that lacks explosion. Its |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New England Patriots.
The Buffalo Bills earned an impressive 19-0 win over the Miami Dolphins last week to move to 6-9 SU and 8-7 ATS. Veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams and rookie cornerback Nickell Robey had two sacks apiece. Mario Williams, Jerry Hughes and Da'Norris Searcy added one each in helping Buffalo to its first shutout in over two years. The New England Patriots clinched the Division in Baltimore with an impressive 41-7 win. Logan Ryan had two INTs and a return TD while Chandler Jones also returned a fumble for a TD late to put this game away. Tom Brady threw on TD pass to Shane Vereen early and the Patriots easily salted this one away. The Patriots always call this time of the year the payoff time and they want to playing their best football going into the playoffs so I am expecting a big win here. The Patriots are 5-2 ATS and 7-0 SU at home this season. The Bills are just 2-5 SU and ATS on the road this season. If the Patriots win and the Broncos lose they would get the 1st overall seed in the AFC. It would be more devastating for the Pats to lose since the team could drop to the third seed with a Bengals win. Don |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New Orleans Saints.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into the last week of the regular season at 4-11 SU and 6-9 ATS. The Bucs fell to St. Louis 13-23 on the road last Sunday. The Buccaneers managed just 170 total yards, setting a season low for the second straight week. Vincent Jackson had five catches for 98 yards but Rainey was held to 37 yards on 20 carries and Glennon was 16 of 26 for just 158 yards minus 47 yards on the sacks. The New Orleans Saints fell to Carolina on the road last week 13-17 to fall to 10-5 SU and 7-8 ATS on the season. Drew Brees threw for 281 yards one TD and two INTs. Jimmy Graham had one TD catch on 73 yards receiving in the loss. The loss to the Panthers has really made this game a big deal for the Saints who have wide range of possibilities that could happen this weekend. The Saints make it in the post season if they win though and I expect them to treat it like a playoff game here. Note New Orleans is a perfect 7-0 SU at home and have covered the spread in six of those games. The Bucs are 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS on the road this season and is 0-2 SU and ATS versus Saints on the road. Lay the points here and don |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the San Diego Chargers.
Kansas City comes into the final week of the season at 11-4 SU and 8-7 ATS after a disappointing 7-23 loss at home to Indianapolis Colts. Jamaal Charles had the lone TD early in the game and was really the only effective offensive player for the Chiefs, gaining over 100 yards on the ground. The loss eliminated the team from the number seed in the AFC. The San Diego Chargers have won three in a row after a 25-13 win at home over Oakland to move to 8-7 SU and 9-5 ATS on the season. Philip Rivers threw for 201 yards, one TD and one INT. Keenan Allen had his eighth score of the season while Ryan Matthews 99 yards and a score in the win. The Chiefs have very little to play for here while the Chargers have everything to play for. San Diego is 5-2 ATS in home games and is rolling at the right time of year, having won three games in a row. The Chiefs are 1-2 ATS as the underdog. Andy Reid has already talked about resting his starters for this game. This game should be a massive blowout. Lay the points. AAA |

The Jacksonville Jaguars come into week 17 at 4-11 SU and 5-9 ATS after a 16-20 loss at home to Tennessee. Chad Henne finished the game 24-of-34 for 237 yards, two TDs and one INT. Mike Brown had 71 yards and one TD as well in the loss. The Indianapolis Colts come into the final week of the season 10-5 SU and 8-6 ATS after an impressive 23-7 win at the Kansas City Chiefs. Donald Brown had 71 yards and a TD while Jerrell Freeman had two interceptions. Griff Whalen was impressive all game for the Colts, grabbing seven balls for 80 tough yards.

The Detroit Lions come into the final week of the season 7-8 SU and 6-9 ATS after a crushing 20-23 OT loss at home versus the NY Giants. The loss effectively eliminated Detroit from the playoffs race. Matthew Stafford was pretty bad to be honest, going 25 of 42 for 222 yards and two interceptions. Calvin Johnson, questionable for the game because of an injured right knee, wasn't the targeted receiver once after making three catches for 43 yards in the first half. The Minnesota Vikings come into the final week at 4-10-1 SU and 8-7 ATS after getting blown out 14-42 at the Cincinnati. Matt Cassel struggled mightily, throwing one TD to his three INTs. The Vikings were 0-9 on third downs. All the pressure is off the Lions here now and I think the ultra talented team comes out with one last good performance this week as there is sure to be changes next season. A rallying point is likely going to be Jim Schwartz who is very much on the hot seat and likely on his way out. The Lions are 4-1 ATS versus divisional opponents and I think show up here in true Lions fashion, when it doesn t count. The Vikings have underachieved as well this season but to label them the favorite here is a little strong. Minnesota is 1-2 ATS as the favorite this season. Grab the points with Detroit with a good shot at the outright win. AAA |

The Cincinnati Bengals crushed the Vikings 42-14 win at home last week to move to 10-5 SU and 9-5 ATS.

The Chicago Bears sit at 8-6 SU and 4-9 ATS after a 38-31 win at Cleveland. Jay Cutler finished 22 of 31 for 265 yards and validated first-year coach Marc Trestman's decision to stick with him over McCown, who had played so well while filling in for Chicago's starter. Matt Forte had 127 yards rushing and Brandon Marshall had 95 yards receiving and a TD in the win. The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 8-6 SU and 7-7 ATS after a 30-48 loss at Minnesota. Nick Foles threw for a career-high 428 yards and second-half touchdown scores to DeSean Jackson, Zach Ertz and Jason Avant. This game was deemed so big it was flexed into the prime time spot on NBC over the Ravens Patriots and I have no doubt it should be a good one. The Bears have won two in row SU and ATS while the Eagles are coming off their first loss in five games. The Eagles are just 5-6 ATS this season as the favorite. This promises to be a tight affair with so much on the line. Regardless of how the Cowboys, Lions and Packers fare, this game will still give the winner the edge for the No. 3 seed over the other. With Jay Cutler back and playing well there could very easily be a Bears out right win here. this is an Eagles secondary that let Matt Cassel throw for 382 yards last week. Despite the Vikings missing Adrian Peterson, Philadelphia gave up more than 21 points for the first time in 10 games. Lay the points in prime time with Chicago. AAA |

Julian Edelman made 13 catches for 139 yards, and Amendola added 10 receptions for 131 yards. The Patriots mounted drives of 16 and 15 plays but settled for a field goal each time, and Gostkowski misfired on a field-goal try for only the third time this year when he sailed a 48-yard attempt wide left. The Baltimore Ravens continued its hot streak, winning a 18-16 thriller at Detroit to move to 8-6 SU and 7-6 ATS.

Andrew Luck finished 19 of 32 for 180 yards with the two first-half TD passes that gave the Colts a 20-3 halftime lead and the team defence salted it away from there. Kansas City moved to 11-3 SU and 8-6 ATS after a 56-10 win over Oakland. Jamal Charles had a monstrous five total touchdowns in the win. Alex Smith threw four of his five TD passes to Charles, going 17 for 20 for 287 yards to make the Chiefs the fourth team ever to make the playoffs a year after losing at least 14 games. The Chiefs have been beating up on some terrible defensive play from Washington and Oakland the past two weeks leading to some stupid point totals. I think we see a better defensive effort from the Colts here to make it a lot more difficult on the Chiefs. Note that Kansas City is just 2-5 ATS at home this season and 0-2 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5-7 points. Though Kansas City has won by a combined 60 points the past two weeks, there are still issues to fix on the defensive end. Over their past eight games, the Chiefs have allowed 47 plays of 20 or more yards, the most in the NFL. The big point spread looks to be a little too high here with a pretty good team in the Colts visiting. Take the points with Indianapolis. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Minnesota Vikings come in at 4-9-1 SU and 8-6 ATS after a 48-30 win at home over Philadelphia. Matt Cassel threw for two touchdowns and 382 yards while Mike Asiata had three TD scores on 51 yards rushing for the Vikings. Cincinnati is coming off a 20-30 loss in prime time to Pittsburgh that gave the team a 9-5 SU and 8-5 ATS record. Andy Dalton completed 25 of 44 for 230 yards and two second-half touchdowns, but Cincinnati never recovered after getting staggered early at frigid Heinz Field. The Bengals did not look good at Pittsburgh but I expect they come back with a big effort at home here versus the Vikings. Cincinnati is a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS at home this season while the Vikings have yet to win a game on the road this year. Also note that the Bengals are a perfect 2-0 ATS after a loss to a divisional rival this season. The Vikings have not won two games in a row all season and should start to be looking to shut this season down pretty soon with a the off season in mind. The Bengals could still finish with one of the top seeds in the AFC if they win out. Look for this team to take care of business at home in a big way. Lay the points here. AAA |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Cincinnati Bengals come into this huge Sunday night game with 9-4 SU and 8-4-1 ATS after a 42-28 win at home over the Indianapolis Colts. Andy Dalton had three TD passes and was 24-of-35 for 275 yards without a sack or interception. The Steelers come into this must win game with 5-8 SU and 6-7 ATS record after a devastating 34-28 loss at home to the Miami Dolphins. Ben Roethlisberger completed 23-of-39 passes for three TDs in the loss. Antonio Brown had 137 yards receiving and one TD in the loss. The Bengals are quietly arguably the best all-round team in the NFL right now and I expect it to be on showcase here. Cincy has quietly won the last two meetings in this series, the last one a convincing 20-10 game. The Bengals are 5-3 ATS as a favorite this season and 4-2 ATS as a favorite between +3-3 points. The Steelers are just 0-3 SU and ATS when revenging a loss to an opponent. Consider laying the short points with Cincinnati, the better team here. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New Orleans Saints.
The New Orleans Saints moved to 10-3 SU and 7-6 ATS after a 31-13 impressive beat down of Carolina on Monday Night football at home. Drew Brees passed for 313 yards and four touchdowns while New Orleans sacked Cam Newton five times and did not allow a touchdown until 5:15 remained. Junior Galette had three of New Orleans' sacks and Cameron Jordan two. The St. Louis Rams moved to 5-8 SU and ATS after getting beat down 10-31 on the road in Arizona. Tavon Austin's 56-yard run set up the only touchdown for the Rams, a 1-yard run by Zac Stacy. The Saints got some frustrations from an embarrassing loss at Seattle a week before with the big win and I think the group carries that play into this game against a Rams teams that is quickly fading. The Saints can clinch a playoff spot here and I expect that be the candy at reach for Brees and company. New Orleans were destroyed on the road last and crucified for it in media, I think this redemption game for the Saints. The Saints are 5-3 ATS as a favorite of 3.5-9.5 points this season while the Rams are just 2.4 as an underdog of those numbers. Lay the points with the Saints. AAA |

This is a 10* "SAMURAI" on the Denver Broncos.
The San Diego Chargers come in at 6-7 SU and 7-5 ATS after a 37-14 win over the New York Giants at home. Philip Rivers went 21 for 28 for 249 yards and three TD passes. Rookie Keenan Allen had two TD passes on 59 yards receiving. The Denver Broncos fell behind early but were still able to come back and blowout the Tennessee Titans 51-27 on Sunday to move to 11-2 SU and 8-4 ATS. The Broncos ran a whopping 91 plays on offense, giving them plenty of chances to eat away at a 21-10 second-quarter deficit. Peyton Manning threw for a whopping 397 yards and four TD passes. The Broncos are a prolific 7-0 and 5-1-1 ATS at home this season. As a home favorite of 7.5-10 points the Broncos are a perfect 2-0. The Chargers are 3-4 on the road and 3-3-1 ATS . Also note that the Chargers are a perfect 3-0 ATS on Thursdays the last three seasons. The Broncos won a 28-20 game in San Diego earlier this year in a game that could have even been more of a blowout. As it always is when facing the Broncos this season, can the Chargers stop Peyton Manning |

The Carolina Panthers stayed the hottest team in the NFL after a 27-6 win at home to move to 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS. Cam Newton for 263 yards and two touchdowns and leaped over the pile for another score. Greg Olsen had 85 yards receiving as the defense did the rest in this game. The New Orleans Saints got embarrassed on Monday night fall, losing to the Seattle Seahawks on the road 7-34 to move to 9-3 SU and 6-6 ATS. New Orleans didn't crack 100 yards of total offense until midway through the third quarter. Jimmy Graham was nearly invisible outside of his franchise-record 12th TD catch of the season in the second quarter. While the Saints are certainly a different team on the road I expect them to come back with a major bounce back at home where the team has been literally unbeatable this season. New Orleans is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in the Big Easy this season. The Saints haven't lost consecutive games in a single regular season under coach Sean Payton since 2009. As good as the Panthers defense has been lately, they are in for the biggest challenge here with a pissed of Drew Brees and Sean Peyton. Brees has cracked 300 yards in each of the six home games this season, with 19 touchdowns and three interceptions. His 122.2 home passer rating is second in the league to that of Aaron Rodgers. New Orleans is averaging 33.2 points at home, trailing only Denver and Dallas. Consider laying the points here as the Saints are going win, and cover the spread in the process. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Arizona Cardinals.
The St. Louis Rams were manhandled by the San Francisco 49ers 23-13 to fall to 5-7 both SU and ATS last Sunday. Kellen Clemens went 19 of 37 for 218 yards with a late TD pass on the afternoon. The Rams managed 11 total yards in the first quarter and 73 in the first half. The 49ers held the Rams in check before the second-team defense surrendered the late TD. The Arizona Cardinals look to bounce back off a 21-24 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles that moved them to 7-5 SU and 8-4 ATS. Carson Palmer threw for 302 yards and three TD passes, but also had two interceptions and lost a fumble as the Cardinals had their four-game winning streak snapped. The Cardinals are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS in home games this season while the Rams are an ugly 2-3 ATS on the road. Arizona comes looking to get its monkey off the back after falling to the Rams for a third straight time. Arizona is 4-1 ATS versus teams with a losing record and 3-1 ATS as the favorite. The Rams are an ugly 3-6 ATS. The Rams offense led by Kellen Clemens just does not have the guns score enough points here versus a Cardinals defense at home that is very good and improving. Consider laying the points. AAA |

Eli Manning threw for 235 yards, one TD and one INT while Victor Cruz had 80 yards receiving and Andre Brown had two rushing TDs. The San Diego was unable to back up an upset win at Kansas City, losing at home 10-17 to the Cincinnati Bengals to move to 5-7 SU and 6-5 ATS. Philip Rivers Rivers completed 23 of 37 passes for 252 yards, one TD and one INT while Keenan Allen had 106 yards receiving in the loss. While the Chargers suffered a bit a of letdown after a big win on the road I expect the same will happen here the Giants after a prime time win. The Chargers will be looking to get back on track with a second straight home game. The Chargers are 3-2 ATS at home this season while the Giants are just 2-4 SU on the road. Consider laying the short points here with San Diego. AAA |

The Cleveland Browns sit at 4-8 SU and 5-7 ATS after a 28-32 loss at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Gordon was all-world for a second straight game, catching 10 passes for 261 yards and two TDs. Brandon Wheedon threw for 370 yards in the loss. The New England Patriots sit at 9-3 SU and 6-6 ATS after a narrow 34-31 win over the Houston Texans. Tom Brady threw for 371 yards and two scores, and Stephen Gostkowski made two long field goals in the fourth quarter last Sunday. Rob Gronkowski had six receptions for 127 yards and Julian Edelman added 101 yards receiving on nine catches. For the second straight game the Patriots were down by at least two scores at the half of a game. I expect we see the complete performance here as the Patriots return to Foxboro. Note that the Patriots are an excellent 5-1 ATS at home this year. The Browns meanwhile have lost three in a row and failed to cover the spread in any of those games. Consider laying the points here as the Patriots are bound for a full performance here. AAA |

After a bye week the 17th ranked Oklahoma Sooners comes in the final week of the season at 9-2 SU and 6-4 ATS after a 42-31 win over Kansas State on the road. Trevor Knight threw for 196 yards, one TD and one INT while Brennan Clay rushed for 200 yards and two TDs in the win. The 6th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys sit at 10-1 SU and 8-3 ATS after a bye week as well. Before the open date the Cowboys took down the powerful Baylor Bears 49-17 at home. Clint Chelf passed for a career-high 370 yards and accounted for four touchdowns and Tracy Moore finished with five catches for 126 for Oklahoma State. This is a big rivalry game for sure and both teams should get up for it. Although the Bedlam rivalry always brings out the best in the Sooners, they will be hard-pressed to tackle an Oklahoma State squad that has been nearly flawless since making the switch to Chelf under center. With a BCS bowl bid in their sights, expect the Cowboys to be focused on the task at hand. Oklahoma State is a 6-1 ATS at home this season and a perfect 6-0 ATS after a win over conference rival. The Sooners are just 3-5 ATS versus conference opponents. Lay the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "MASSACRE" on the New Orleans Saints.
The New Orleans Saints sit at 9-2 SU and 6-5 ATS after a 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons on two Thursdays ago. Drew Brees completed 22 of 33 passes for 278 yards and two TDs. Jimmy Graham had 100 yards receiving including a TD catch while Pierre Thomas had a 130 total yards in the winning effort. The Seattle Seahawks come off a bye with a 10-1 SU and 7-4 ATS. The Seahawks last saw action in a 41-20 home win over the Minnesota Vikings. Russell Wilson was an effective passer, completing 13 of 18 for 230 yards and two TDs. Marshawn Lynch had two rushing TDs to help pace the Seahawks. This is the biggest game of the year so far for both teams and I expect it to be a close one. The Saints might not be talking about it but the last time they visited Century Link field it was the Seahawks as the big underdog, taking the win with a Marshawn Lynch TD score at the end. I expect revenge to also be a huge part of a game that means a lot for both teams in the NFC. The Seahawks have had some controversy in the off week as key members to the secondary in Walter Thurmond and Brandon Browner will not be available for this game due to substance abuse and PED problems. Still, this is going to be a tough game for both teams and is likely going to be very close at the end. I am grabbing all the points I can get. AAA |

The Washington Redskins sit at 3-8 SU and ATS after a 6-26 loss to San Francisco at home on Monday Night football. RG3 did not have a good game, completing 17 of 27 passes for only 127 yards and got sacked four times. Alfred Morris managed just 53 yards rushing in the loss. The New York Giants sit at 4-7 SU and ATS after a 21-24 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Andre Brown rushed for 124 yards while Eli Manning had 174 yards and passed for two TDs in the game. This is the second prime time game in a row for the Redskins here and I expect them to come up with a better effort this time around versus a team that is not quite so good. The Giants are just 1-4 on the road this season. Washington is 2-0 ATS and SU versus the Giants at home over the past few seasons and I expect this to be one of the few last stands for the Redskins this season. New York defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul and cornerback Trumaine McBride have been ruled out, and backup running back Brandon Jacobs and cornerback Corey Webster also will miss the game. With the injuries piling up I like Washington at home even more. AAA |

Andrew Luck threw for just 163 yards and Coby Fleener had 55 yards receiving and the lone TD in the rout. The Colts have been pulling Jekyll and Hyde of late but have quite a few things in their favor headed in this matchup. The Colts will be mad but going against a divisional opponent they handled just a few weeks ago. Indy is 2-0 ATS versus Divisional opponents this season and also 2-0 SU and ATS when facing the Titans.

Javorius Allen ran for a career-best 145 yards and three touchdowns while Cody Kessler passed for184 yards and two TDs. Even without the motivation of a conference title, both of these teams will have plenty to play for on Saturday. USC's ability to create havoc in the backfield could disrupt the normally unflappable Hundley just as Barr could keep Kessler from hitting his stride. Expect a game that comes down to the final minutes with the Bruins making enough plays on offense to grab a win.

Baylor had won the nine previous games by an average of 43.7 points but never led against the Cowboys. TCU is 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS after a bye week. The Horned Frogs lost 31-33 to Kansas State on the road prior to the open date. Casey Pachall completed 23-of-33 passes for 243 yards, one TD and one INT in the place of Trevone Boykin. B.J. Catalone had 12 carries for 71 yards and one TD in the loss. Baylor suffered to embarrassing and crushing defeat last week, having its national championship chances crushed. I expect the Bears to bounce back with a vengeance this week. "We still have a lot to play for. We've got to go out and win these next two games. There are still goals and ambitions that we set prior to the season that we can still accomplish, " Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said. Last weekend the Bears struggled to find offense in a hostile environment against one of the league's best defensive units in Oklahoma State. This week they face a Horned Frogs team that don't have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Bears. Lay the points with Baylor. AAA |

Washington finished with 692 yards in total offense, compared to 414 for Oregon State. Hau'oli and the Huskies front line will be able to get pressure on Halliday and that could open up opportunities for the secondary to cash in on some errant throws. With the addition of Price to their offensive game plan, the Huskies' balance will prove too much for the one-sided Cougars. Lay the points with Washington AAA |

11-26-13 | Western Michigan +35 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 14-33 | Win | 100 | 32 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on Western Michigan.
Western Michigan is 1-10 SU and 3-8 ATS after a norrow 22-27 loss at home to Central Michigan. Dareyon Chance had 14 carries for 93 yards and one TD score. Zach Terrell completed just 14 of 35 passes for 147 yards zero TDs and one INT. Northern Illinois is 10-0 SU and 7-4 ATS after a 35-17 win at Toledo. Star QB Jordan Lynch finished with three touchdowns- all in the second half, and 161 yards. I played on the Huskies last week as the slight favorite versus Toledo and was successful. This time I feel the value has jumped opposite of the Huskies as this is a massive spread. Yes the Huskies have won two straight versus Western Michigan but not last years |

11-25-13 | San Francisco 49ers -5 v. Washington Redskins | Top | 27-6 | Win | 100 | 124 h 28 m | Show |
This is a 10* "MASSACRE" on the San Francisco 49ers.
The visiting San Francisco 49ers sit at 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS after a 20-23 loss to the Saints in New Orleans last week. Colin Kaepernick passed for two scores, but finished with only 127 yards and was sacked three times as the Niners lost their second straight. Frank Gore rushed for just 48 yards in the loss. The Washington Redskins sit at 3-7 SU and ATS after a 13-24 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles. Robert Griffin III was 17 of 35 for 264 yards and ran for 44 yards. Alfred Morris had 93 yards rushing in the loss. Yes the 49ers have lost two in a row but I think they are a way better squad than the Redskins and should win this game decidedly, even on the road. If we take a look at the losses for the 49ers we should note that the team came within a flag from beating the Saints in New Orleans and just came up short to another very good squad in Carolina. Washington meanwhile is just 1-6 SU and ATS when labeled the underdog. Neither game has been great passing the ball of late but I expect SF to win the running game matchup with the far better defense. Note that 49ers have covered the spread in six of the last seven games and three of its |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the New England Patriots.
The Denver Broncos sit at 9-1 SU and 6-3 ATS after a 27-17 win at home over the Kansas City Chiefs. Peyton Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown on the night. Demaryious Thomas had six receptions for 121 yards. The New England Patriots sit a 7-3 SU and 5-5 ATS and look to bounce back after a 24-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers on the road. Tom Brady was 29 of 40 for 296 yards and one touchdown. Rob Gronkowski and Stevan Ridley had touchdowns in the loss. This game preview has been well documented as Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady. The value in this game certainly lies in the underdog Patriots at home. The Patriots have not been home underdogs since 2005, another game where it was Manning versus Brady. Note that Brady holds the 9-4 advantage in these games. More importantly to me is the fact that the Patriots have yet to lose at home this season. Note that during the second of the half the season, since 2008 the Patriots are 12-1 at Foxborough. All the talk is about how much better of a team the Broncos are but I feel Tom Brady and the hoodie are the reasons to back the Patriots at home. New England is 4-1 ATS at home this season 3-1 ATS as the underdog. The Broncos are 2-2 ATS on the road. Take New England to not only make this close, but come away with the win. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Indianapolis Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts sit at 7-3 SU and 5-4 ATS after rallying to beat Tennessee 30-27. Andrew Luck finished 23-of-36 for 232 yards passing. Luck had a rushing TD in the win while Donald Brown had his best game of the season, rushing for 80 yards and two TDs. The Arizona Cardinals come into this week at a solid 6-4 SU and ATS. The Cardinals beat the Jaguars 27-14 at Jacksonville last Saturday. Carson Palmer had his best game of the season, going 30 of 42 for 419 yards and two touchdowns, and he did not throw an interception for the first time this year. Michael Floyd had 163 yards receiving to go with a TD score. The Colts are the underdog here despite having the superior record. While I respect the Cardinals home field advantage I don |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Carolina Panthers.
The visiting Carolina Panthers sit at 7-3 SU and ATS after a 24-20 Monday night win over the New England Patriots. Cam Newton had his best game of the season, completing 19 of 28 passes for 209 yards, three TDs. Newton also rushed for 69 yards in the win. Brandon LaFell had 59 yards receiving including the winning TD. The Miami Dolphins sit at 5-5 SU and ATS after a 20-16 win at home over the San Diego Chargers. Ryan Tannehill completed 22 of 35 passes for 268 yards, one TD and one INT. Is there a hotter team the Carolina Panthers right now? Carolina is coming off back to back wins over top team in New England and San Francisco and has won six games in a row both SU and ATS. The Panthers have won at home and on the road so going to Miami shouldn |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Chicago Bears.
The Chicago Bears sit at 6-4 SU and 3-7 ATS after a 23-20 home win over the Baltimore Ravens in OT. Josh McCown was once again solid, completing 19 of 31 passes for 216 yards one TD and no INTs. Alshon Jeffery had seven catches for 83 yards. Forte added 42 receiving and 83 rushing in the win. The St. Louis Rams come off a bye week at 4-6 SU and ATS. Prior to open date, the Rams beat up on Indianapolis 38-8 in Indy. Tavon Austin returned four punts for 145 yards and scored on touchdown passes of 57 and 81 yards, his only two catches of the day. The Rams looked pretty good in their last game but we should remember that the team lost three straight before that win. The Bears badly need this win to stay in the hunt for the NFC North and I expect them to eventually come away with the win. Last season the Bears won a convincing 23-6 game over the Rams. Also note that the Rams are just 1-5 ATS as the favorite the past three seasons. Take the Bears as the slight underdog to win this game. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New York Jets.
The visiting Jets sit at 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS after a 14-37 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Geno Smith was admittedly bad in this outing as he went 8 of 23 for 103 yards passing, zero TDs and three INTs. It was so bad that the Jets managed just 267 yards offense and a season-low 12 first downs. The Baltimore Ravens sit at 4-6 SU and 5-4 ATS after a 20-23 OT loss at home to the Chicago Bears. Joe Flacco wasn |

11-23-13 | Missouri -3 v. Ole Miss | Top | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 150 h 49 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Missouri.
The Missouri Tigers sit at 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS and are well rested after a bye week. The Tigers took care of Kentucky 48-17 prior to the bye. Maty Mauk completed 17 of 28 attempts for 203 yards and that included a massive five TD passes. Henry Josey had 113 yards rushing to go with a couple TD scores. Mississippi is 7-2 SU and 6-4 ATS after a 51-21 win over Troy last weekend. Bo Wallace was 17 for 26 for 272 yards and rushed for 66 yards on nine carries for a total of four TDS. Mississippi set a school record for total offense with 751 yards. This is looks to be good matchup on the Saturday Game Day as both teams are playing well and are in the Top 25 currently. Ole Miss has the home field advantage but they are going to be in tough with a Missouri offense that averages of 41.3 points and 492.6 yards per game and is getting their starting QB back in James Franklin. Defensively, Ole Miss has played much better than expected, as it holds foes to just 25.0 points per game but won |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Florida State.
Idaho is 1-9 SU and 3-7 ATS after a 38-59 loss at home to Old Dominion. Taylor Davis finished the game 15-for-29 for 305 yards, two TDs and two INTs. Dezmon Epps had 175 yards receiving and a TD for the Vandals in a losing effort. Florida State continued its tear of FBS with a 56-3 win over Syracuse to move to 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS. Jameis Wintson completed 19-of-21 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns. The Seminoles scored 28 points before the Orange recorded 28 yards of total offense -- and Winston was the star in the rout. If Idaho was unable to shut down Old Dominion, there is little chance of stopping Florida State, which is one of the nation's top offensive squads. The Seminoles rank second nationally in scoring (52.7 ppg) and eighth in total offense (521.2 ypg). The spread looks large but Florida State hasn |

Hawaii is 0-10 and 5-5 ATS after a 21-28 OT loss at San Diego State. John Schroeder finished 18-for-36 for 194 yards, two TDs and one INT. Joey Iosefa rushed 37 times for 150 yards and one TD. The Rainbow Warriors actually held the lead late in this game before OT. Wyoming is 4-6 SU and 5-5 ATS after getting killed 7-48 at Boise State. The Broncos put the game away early and scored 48 unanswered points after the Cowboys took an early 7-0 lead on their second possession of the game. Neither team is having a great season but its |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Cincinnati.
Cincinnati comes into this game at 8-2 SU and 5-5 ATS after a 52-17 win at Rutgers. Brendon Kay threw for a career-best 405 yards and four touchdowns, Mekale McKay caught three TDs in the win. Shaq Washington had 123 yards receiving and a TD on six receptions as well. Houston is 7-3 SU and 9-1 ATS after a 13-20 loss at Louisville. John Okorn completed 19-of 35 passes for 121 yards. While other teams like UCF and Louisville have gotten all the headlines in this conference, the Bearcats have gone quietly under the radar at 8-2 on the season. Brandon Kay owns the highest completion percentage on the season and should be effective in this game as it brings in an offense that averages 35 points a game. Houston has lost two in a row but granted they have been close games against tough opponents. A classic sense of offense versus defense but I like the way Kay is playing right now. Take Cincinnati as the underdog. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is 8-2 SU and 5-5 ATS after a 48-10 beat down of Iowa State. Trevor Knight replaced the injured Blake Bell and help lead the team a 38-0 run in the second half. Knight was 8-of-14 passing for 61 yards and rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown. Damien Williams added 10 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns for the Sooners. Kansas State won its fourth in a row to move to 6-4 SU and ATS. The Wildcats won a thriller over TCU 33-31. Jack Cantele sent a 41-yard field goal attempt through the uprights with three seconds remaining to lift the team. Jake Waters finished 10-of-24 passing for 234 yards, two TDs and one INT. The Sooners bounced back nicely after a devastating loss to Baylor a week before and I expect them to continue good football this week. Kansas State looks to have found their groove with four straight wins. Both these teams lost to Baylor and Texas, but the Wildcats were competitive in their setbacks, while Oklahoma was routed. Still, the Sooners are looking from revenge after Kansas State won a 24-19 game last season as the underdog. Look for the Sooners not only to make it close, but have a good shot at the outright win. Take the points with Sooners. AAA |

11-22-13 | Navy +3 v. San Jose State | Top | 58-52 | Win | 100 | 129 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SCORPION" on Navy.
Visiting Navy is 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS after a 43-14 beat down of S. Alabama last week. Kneenan Reynolds converted 10-of-17 passes for 168 yards and a score to Matt Aiken, adding another 59 yards on the ground on 17 carries for a rushing attack that generated 351 yards and scored four TDs. Reynolds combined to take part in three TDs. San Jose State sits at 5-5 SU and ATS after a 16-38 loss at Nevada last week. David Fales completed 28-of-43 passes, but had just one touchdown and was sacked three times, with those negative 25 rushing yards bringing down the team's overall rushing output to a mere 58 yards on 30 attempts. This looks to be a close matchup as both teams are evenly matched. Navy has a better record but has played a weaker schedule. Still, the Midshipmen are on roll and Navy has won two straight games and three of the last four. Navy is also looking to avenge a 0-12 loss last season. Grab the points here in a game Navy has good chance of pulling out. AAA |

11-21-13 | UNLV v. Air Force -2.5 | Top | 41-21 | Loss | -110 | 105 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Air Force.
The UNLV Rebels are 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS and are coming off a 28-24 loss to Utah State on November 9th. QB Caleb Herring was just 17 of 39 for 252 yards and two TD's along with a costly INT. RB Tim Cornett had 115 yards on 29 attempts and one TD. It was however the Rebels second consecutive home loss and they remain one win shy of being bowl eligible. Unfortunately, a cold blustery day at Air Force is not conducive for this team to get that victory. Note that extreme inclement conditions have been forecast for this contest, 70% chance of snow showers, a 10-20 KMH wind and a wind chill of 11. Air Force is just 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS. The Falcons are coming off a hard-fought 45-37 setback at New Mexico on November 8th. Anthony LaCoste ran for 177 yards while QB Nate Romine threw three TD passes while also running one in for a major. Note that UNLV is just 1-2 ATS in its last three following its bye-week, while Air Force is 3-2 ATS in its last five following a loss to a conference rival. I believe the conditions will be just too much for the kids from the dessert to overcome and expect the home side to pull away down the stretch. Play on Air Force. AAA |

This is a 10* "SAMURAI" on the New Orleans Saints.
The New Orleans Saints improved to 8-2 SU and 6-4 ATS after a 23-20 win at home over San Francisco. Drew Brees had 305 yards passing to go with one TD and one INT. Marques Colston finished with five catches for 80 yards. New Orleans overcame three turnovers in the game. The Atlanta Falcons continued to free fall last week with a 28-41 loss at Tampa Bay. Ryan completed 19 of 36 passes for 254 yards. He was replaced by Dominique Davis midway through the fourth quarter, but re-entered the game after the backup limped off the field with an injury. This one is fairly easy to handicap as the Saints have their eyes set on a top playoff seed in the NFC and the Atlanta Falcons continue to lose big to just about any team that they play. New Orleans has already one meeting with the Falcons this season, an early season victory when the Falcons were still considered a contender. Don |

11-21-13 | Rutgers +16 v. Central Florida | Top | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Rutgers.
Rutgers is 5-4 SU and 3-5 ATS after suffering a big 17-52 loss at home to Cincinnati last weekend. Not a good day for Gary Nova who completed just 18 of 38 passes for 170 yards, one TD and two INTs. Brandon Coleman was a lone bright spot for the Scarlet Knights, reeling in six catches for 77 yards and a TD. Rutgers allowed a massive 619 total yards to the Bearcats. Central Florida is 8-1 SU and 6-3 ATS after a narrow 39-36 win over Temple. Blake Bortles had 404 yards passing and 64 yards rushing to go with his four TD passes. J.J Worton had 179 yards and three receiving TDs in the win. This is a classic letdown spot in the schedule for UCF as the team had games versus Temple and Rutgers before next week |

The Rice Owls sit at 7-3 SU and ATS after a 52-14 beat down at home over Louisiana Tech. Charles Ross had five rushing TDs. Ross finished with a career-high 215 yards rushing. Luke Turner also had a 1-yard TD run as Rice set season highs with 415 yards rushing and 582 yards overall. UAB is 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS after a 14-63 loss to East Carolina. Jonathan Perry completed just 16-of-34 passes for no TDs and two INTs. This looks like a mismatch at first glance but I feel the value is certainly here with UAB as the massive underdog at home. UAB is 2-1 ATS in home games this season and 1-0 recently as an underdog of 17-21 points at home. Rice is in a classic letdown spot after a big win over a different weaker sister team last week. Take the points with UAB. AAA |

Buffalo is 7-3 SU and ATS after a 41-51 loss at Toledo last week. The Bulls fell behind 27-0 nothing at halftime and could never get back into a position to win despite outgaining the Rockets 605-551 in the game. Joe Licata finished the night 36-for-58 for 497 yards and three TDs with zero INTs. Alex Neutz caught eight balls for 168 yards and two scores and set a school record with his 30th career receiving touchdown. Branden Oliver went over 100 yards (102) for the sixth straight game. Miami (Ohio) is 0-10 after a 6-24 loss at Kent State last week. Austin Gearing rushed 23 times for 84 yards in the loss. Buffalo is looking to bounce back after a tough loss to Toledo last week and should be able to take out in a big way against lowly Miami Ohio here. The RedHawks have scored a total of nine points in their last two games. Buffalo is 5-1 ATS as the favorite this season and 5-0 versus teams with a losing record. Don |

This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on the New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots sit at 7-2 SU and 5-4 ATS after a bye week. The Patriots last saw the Field a home on November 3rd where the team had its best offensive performance in years, unloading on the Steelers for a 55-31 win. Tom Brady threw for season-highs of 432 yards and four touchdowns. Rob Gronkowski had 143 yards receiving and one TD in the win while Aaron Dobson had 130 yards and two TDs in the win. The Carolina Panthers turned some heads as it continued its great streak with an ugly 10-9 win at San Francisco last Sunday. Cam Newton went just 16-for-32 for 169 yards and was intercepted once. It was the offense defense that picked up the slack in this game for the Panthers. The Patriots are the underdog here and that gives us great value for a team is likely in my eyes to win this game straight up. Note that the Patriots are 3-0 ATS the past three seasons as the underdog. Tom Brady on Monday Night Football is spectacular, helping his team to a 3-0 SU and ATS record in the past few seasons. The Patriots are coming off a bye week and that means this team is the healthiest it has been all season. New England is 3-1 SU coming off bye weeks the past few seasons. Take the Patriots as the underdog. AAA |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the Denver Broncos.
The visiting Kansas City Chiefs come off a bye as the lone undefeated team in the NFL at 9-0 SU and 6-3 ATS. The Chiefs won a 23-10 game at Buffalo prior to the week off. Once again it was the offense that won the game for Kansas City. Despite allowing a season-worst 470 yards of offense and 25 first downs, the Chiefs were opportunistic in holding their ninth consecutive opponent to 17 points or less. The difference was turnovers, as the Chiefs turned Buffalo's three giveaways, two interceptions thrown by Tuel and Graham's fumble... into 17 points. The Denver Broncos escaped San Diego with a 28-20 win to move to 8-1 SU and 5-3 ATS. Peyton Manning threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns, three to Demaryius Thomas. There is a lot of talk that this will be the best game of the week but I am not of that mind. The Chiefs have a very nice 9-0 record but we can |

Frank Gore rushed 16 times for 82 yards in a losing effort. The New Orleans Saints improved to 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS after a dominant 49-17 win at home to the Dallas Cowboys. Drew Brees was 34 of 41 for 392 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Meanwhile, a running game got it going behind a career-best 145 on 14 carries from Mark Ingram. This comes down to a simple fact that the Saints are dominant at home. New Orleans is 5-0 SU and ATS at home this season and 18-4 ATS the past few seasons. Note that Drew Brees has completed 74.4 percent of this passes and averaged 367.2 passing yards while throwing 18 TDs and two INT, including none in the last three games, at home this season.

The visiting New York Jets come off a bye week at 5-4 SU and 6-3 ATS. The Jets went in the week off with a 26-20 win over the New Orleans Saints. Chris Ivory rushed for 138 yards and one TD against his old team. Geno Smith threw the ball just 18 times, completing 9 attempts for 115 yards. The Jets defense came up with two interceptions on Drew Brees. The Buffalo Bills sit at 3-7 SU and 5-5 ATS after a 10-23 loss at Pittsburgh last Sunday. E.J Manuel struggled in his return, completing 22 of 39 passes for 155 yards for one TD and one INT. The Jets come off a bye week and still have a shot at winning this division. Good value here too as the Jets are 5-3 when labeled the underdog. The Bills have lost three in row and are quickly fading from any playoff chances. Rex Ryan |

The Oregon State Beavers were idle last week enjoying a bye. Prior the week off, the Beavers moved to 6-3 SU and 4-5 ATS, falling 14-31 to USC. Oregon State's Sean Mannion threw for 277 yards and a touchdown but also threw three uncharacteristic interceptions in the loss, the second straight for the Beavers. Brandin Cooks had six receptions for 86 yards and a TD score in the loss. Arizona State is 7-2 SU and 5-4 ATS after a narrow 20-19 win at Utah. Taylor Kelly finished 19-for-31 for 144 yards and one TD pass in game where he was largely ineffective till the fourth quarter. Marion Grice rushed 20 times for 136 yards. Arizona State has been dominant at home, going 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS this season. What has separated Arizona State from other squads in the Pac-12 is that not only is it extremely productive on offense but it can also dominate on defense. The Beavers have been solid all year on the road this is by far the best team its |

Jace Amaro, the Big 12's leader in receptions, continued his streak of games with at least eight catches. He finished with nine for 67 yards. Meanwhile, Baylor continued to roll to an 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS record after a 59-12 romp of Oklahoma last week to show that the team is for real. Bryce Petty completed 13 of 26 passes for 206 yards and three TDs and also rushed for two more on 16 carries. Shock Linwood had 23 carries for 182 yards on the ground. While the Red Raiders' defensive numbers (27.0 ppg, 389.1 ypg) appear respectable, the unit has played poorly during the three-game losing streak in allowing a whopping 46.3 ppg. That spells bad news going into a game with a Baylor offense that ranks as the best overall offensive team in the nation. The Bears have far and away the most explosive offense in the nation, ranking first in the FBS in total offense (686.0 ypg), scoring offense (61.0 ppg), pass efficiency at 201.5 and yards per play at 8.64.The Bears are 4-0 ATS as favorite between 21.5 points to 31 this season and is 4-1 ATS versus conference teams this season. Baylor is also 2-0 ATS versus Texas Tech the last few seasons. Lay the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Florida State.
Syracuse sits at 5-4 SU and 6-3 ATS after a 20-3 win over Maryland. Jerome Smith ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns, and Syracuse used a strong defensive effort to beat error-prone Maryland. Terell Hunt finished 15 for 24 for 140 yards and an interception. He also ran for 67 yards on seven carries. Syracuse won despite being penalized 12 times for 115 yards and going 3 for 14 on third-down conversions. Florida State is rolling at 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS after a 59-3 demolition of Wake Forest. Florida State tied a school record with six interceptions, returned turnovers for touchdowns on consecutive plays and gave the offense short fields in the rout. Jamies Winston threw two touchdown passes while leading an offense that gained just 296 total yards, well off its ACC-leading average of 549. The Seminoles are off their best start in school history and has eyes on the National Championship game. The fact that the offense didn |

Receiver Steve Hull had 224 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions. Ohio State is going to win this game, just by how much is the question. This team hasn't lost in 22 months. Urban Meyer tied a personal best by winning his 22nd consecutive game, which includes his final victory at Florida. The Buckeyes have QB |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Oklahoma.
The Iowa State Cyclones sit at 1-8 SU and 4-5 ATS after a 17-20 narrow loss home. Grant Rohach threw for 148 yards. E.J. Bibbs had a team high seven receptions for 63 yards while the team got a TD from Sam Richardson and a special teams TD. The Cyclones offense stalled for much of the game like it has all season. Oklahoma sits at 7-2 SU and 4-5 ATS after an embarrassing 12-41 loss at Baylor in a primetime weekday game. Blake Bell had a tough game, completing just 15-of-35 passes for one TD and two INT. The Sooners are still a solid squad and this is an easy matchup for the team. The Cyclones' boast the Big 12's worst defense at 37.8 ppg, 465.3 ypg and have lost six in a row. In terms of the all-time series, it has been complete and utter domination on Oklahoma's part, as it has gone 70-5-2 versus the Cyclones, which includes wins in each of the last 14 meetings. The Sooners are still very stout defensively and the loss to Baylor in my eyes said more about how good the Bears are than a slight on the Sooners who still allow just 21.2 points and 330.3 yards per game. Coming off a very demoralizing loss, I expect this to be a good situation for the Sooners to bounce back .Oklahoma is fortunate it has a home matchup against a last-place team and have had an extra couple of days to prepare for this game more than Iowa State. Expect the Sooners to earn a huge win here. Oklahoma has a 2-0ATS record this season as a favorite between 21.5 points to 30 points. Note that I played against the Sooners last week but I think it has swung the other way here. Lay the big ones here. AAA |

11-15-13 | Washington +1.5 v. UCLA | Top | 31-41 | Loss | -110 | 127 h 3 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SCORPION" on Washington.
Washington is 6-3 SU and 5-4 ATS and is coming off a 59-7 blowout win over Colorado. Keith Price threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as part of a huge first half where Washington racked up nearly 500 yards on offense. Washington ran 59 plays and finished with 464 total yards in the first half. Bishop Sankey had 143 yards and a TD rushing the ball. UCLA sits at 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS after a 31-26 win at Arizona. Brett Hundley completed 18-of-25 passes for 227 yards and two TDs. Freshman linebacker Myles Jack played offense, too, rushing for 120 yards on his first six carries of the season. Note that I played on both of these teams last week and was victorious with each covering the spread. These teams are largely mirror images of each other. Each squad has a very effective offense led by two of the more consistent quarterbacks in the country. Scoring points won't be the issue for either team. Look for the value to be in the fact that this game could really come down to the wire and getting points is the way to go. Take Washington plus the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "SAMURAI" on the Indianapolis Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts at 6-3 SU and 5-4 ATS look to bounce back off a 8-38 loss at home to the St. Louis Rams. Andrew Luck completed 29-of-47 passes for 353 yards, one TD and three INTs. T.Y. Hilton had seven receptions for 130 yards in the loss. The Colts ran the ball just 14 times for a combined total of just 18 yards. Indy also turned the ball over five times. The Tennessee Titans handed the Jacksonville Jaguars its first win of the season 27-29 to fall to 4-5 SU and 5-3 ATS. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 264 yards and was responsible for three TDs, stepping in for an injured Jake Locker. Kendall Wright had 78 yards on seven receptions. The Colts were considered a Super Bowl contender in the eyes of many before this last performance and I am going to give them a mulligan here. "I think all we want is to never play like that again," tight end Coby Fleener said. "The feeling after that game was just disgust." The Colts have already shown us they can win the big game in prime time against the likes of Denver and San Francisco. The Titans are just 1-3 ATS at home and 1-4 ATS as the underdog. The Colts are 3-1 SU against Tennessee the last three seasons and I expect them to take care of business again. Consider laying the points here with the better team. AAA |

Trey Watts rushed for 120 yards and a score for Tulsa and has now rushed for at least 100 yards for the 5th time this season and 12th of his career. The Golden Hurricane turned the ball over three times, including an interception that was returned for a TD. Marshall has been on fire of late, winning four of five and is coming off two straight wins where it won by an average of 45 points. Tulsa is 0-4 ATS at home and 0-3 ATS as the underdog.

Northern Illinois is 9-0 SU and 5-4 ATS after a 63-19 beat down of Massachusetts. Jordan Lynch was his all world self, rushing for 119 yards and four TDs while throwing for 160 yards and a score. This was a week after Lynch accounted for six TD scores. Backup Drew Hare connected with Chad Beebe on an 81-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and followed it with a 47-yard TD run to make it 63-19. These are arguably the two best teams in the MAC conference as both teams are a perfect 5-0 in MAC play. Ball State has been a roll as well quietly as they come in as the underdog. The Cardinals have won seven straight and covered the spread the only game they played as the underdog this season. This game plays as double revenge as Northern Illinois has won the last two games by close scores Note that the Cardinals had a 9 point lead in the third quarter before imploding in the matchup last season. Surprisingly, NIU is just 4-4 ATS as the favorite this season. Look for this game to be a close one too and grab the points. AAA |

Mike James had 128 yards rushing and one TD throw while Mike Glennon completed 17-of 23 passes for 168 yards and two TDs in the loss. Yes there has been a lot of talk surrounding the Miami Dolphins this week that are non football strategy related. The NFL is still about winning though I expect them to forget this circus when they hit the field this Monday night. The Dolphins were dominated rushing the ball and on the defensive side in its last game. Miami has had almost a week and a half to prepare for this game and should ready to go here. Lets |

The Chargers a far better team at home there is no secret there but the Broncos are going to prove to be too tough as the team comes off a bye with an offense nearly unstoppable with Manning given the extra time. Denver showed no problem bouncing back off the loss to Indy to get a big win. Denver is 2-0 ATS versus the Chargers in San Diego the last two seasons.

T.Y.Hilton had 121 yards receiving and caught all three of those Luck TD passes. It was the first game the Colts played without leader Reggie Wayne and the team showed some rust after a bye week. Look for the Colts to come out firing at home here versus a Texans team without its head coach Gary Kubiak and starting running back in Arian Foster.

The Atlanta Falcons sit at 2-6 SU and ATS after a 10-34 loss at Carolina. Matt Ryan completed 20 of 27 passes for 219 yards, one TD and three INTs in the loss. Tony Gonzalez had six receptions for 81 yards and a TD in the loss. The Falcons rolled up just 219 yards of offense.

Marshawn Lynch rushed for 125 yards as the Seahawks had to crawl back into this game after falling behind early. The Falcons have been ravaged by injuries on the both sides of the ball and especially on offense. Atlanta has lost two in row and failed to score more than 13 points in each game since the loss of star WR Julio Jones. Now the team plays Seattle, one of the toughest defenses in the league. Seattle meanwhile, not only is looking to bounce back after two mediocre wins, but also has also has revenge written on its |

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on UCLA.
UCLA sits at 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS after a 45-23 win over Colorado last week. Brett Hundley looked much more like himself in the victory as he accounted for 345 yards and four total touchdowns to lift the Bruins win. Meanwhile The Wildcats sit at 6-2 and 4-3 ATS as well after surviving what could have been an embarrassing loss on the road against California last weekend but pulled out the 33-28 victory. The win was the third straight for the Wildcats, who are suddenly 6-2 overall and tied with UCLA and USC for second in the Pac-12 South Division. There is skill bursting on each side of the ball for both of these teams. Hundley getting back to normal is a big boost for UCLA but he may have some issues against a vastly improved Arizona defense. Barr could really be an important player in this matchup if he can neutralize Denker's mobility and Carey out of the backfield. This will be a tighter affair than last year but one UCLA will still win. Take UCLA to win this one straight up. AAA |

11-09-13 | Colorado v. Washington Huskies -27 | Top | 7-59 | Win | 100 | 148 h 43 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Washington.
Colorado is 3-5 SU and ATS after a 23-45 loss to UCLA last week. Even though they still allowed over 400 yards in the loss to UCLA, the Buffaloes did a decent job of slowing down one of the better offenses in the conference, letting up just 18 first downs. However, the Buffaloes have had very few games to feel good about on defense as they are letting up 467.5 yards of total offense. The Washington Huskies sit at 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS after snapping a two game losing streak with a 41-17 win over California prior to the bye week. Keith Price looked like himself again. Price completed 20-of-32 passes for 376 yards and two touchdowns. The Huskies finished with 642 yards, but perhaps more importantly Sankey and Price looked much more comfortable. This spells the sixth try for Colorado to earn a win against a team from its conference. The first five attempts have been miserable failures as the Buffaloes have been topped by an average of 31 points per game. Their most recent 45-23 disappointment against No. 16 UCLA actually is the closest they have come to a conference victory. This is going to a blowout of epic proportions.

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Wisconsin.
BYU has been red-hot, reeling off five straight wins to improve to 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS. The latest win for the Broncos was a Friday night 37-20 win at home over Boise State on October 25th. Taysom Hill threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 69 yards and another score. He completed 27 of 41 passes to lead the Cougars. Hill dominated from start to finish. In the first half, he threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, ran for a score, and had 306 yards of offense. Wisconsin is also one of the hottest team in the nation after a 28-9 road win at Idaho. James White ran for 132 yards and a pair of late TDs while Joel Stave added two touchdown passes for the Badgers. Hill has the potential to give the Badgers fits, much like Ohio State's Braxton Miller in a Sept. 28 loss, but in the end UW's two- headed monster at running back will be able to dictate the tempo en route to a solid home victory. Lay the points with the home team here. AAA |

Missouri is 8-1 SU and 7-1 ATS after a 31-3 beat down of Tennessee at home last Saturday. Maty Mauk threw three touchdown passes and ran 114 yards on 13 carries for the Tigers. Mauk threw touchdown passes to Dorial Green-Beckham, L'Damian Washington and Marcus Lucas in the first half and Missouri totaled 339 yards rushing with a 6.3-yard average. Missouri did not commit a turnover all game long. Kentucky is 2-6 SU and 4-4 ATS after a 48-14 pounding of Alabama State. Jalen Whitlow ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more while passing for 186 yards in the win. Isaiah Crowell had 86 yards rushing and a TD in the win.

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Auburn.
Auburn is 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS after a 35-17 win at Arkansas last week. The win for Auburn came largely behind the running of Tre Mason, who finished with 168 yards rushing and had four rushing TDS. Nick Marshall was responsible for 177 yards and had one throwing TD in the win. Tennessee is 4-5 SU and ATS after getting destroyed 3-31 by Missouri last week. It was not a good day for freshman QB Joshua Dobbs who was intercepted twice and lost a fumble in his first career start. These are teams going in different directions. Auburn has a belief that it can make a case for an SEC title still and that is going to be major motivation going into this game. Tennessee has lost two straight since winning outright as an underdog to South Carolina. The Volunteers allowed 339 rushing yards last week and is not a good sign when about to face a team like Auburn. This won |
